Well you see fish breath through things called gills so they don't need lungs to breath. Whales have huge holes at the top of their heads so when they need to breath they squrt out water from those holes.

Some animals, like some vermiforme worms breath through their skin, but it's not an efficient way of breathing so body size and metabolism is a limiting factor. Bigger and more evolved animals such as frogs use skin breathing as complementary.
